EI as a Leadership Skill
The most capable leaders use EI to more adeptly handle diversity, while attending to issues of expanded markets, and human resources in collaborative ways. Since creating a team of emotionally intelligent members is essentially the same as in developing an individual, the EI Leader knows that the more these skills and competencies are developed within a collaborative team, the more effective the group can become.EI Leaders and individuals recognize the importance of creating a collaborative environment regulated with trust and equality, and are careful to manage their emotions and resultant behavior accordingly. With support, team members quickly adopt the optimism, enthusiasm, and inspiration of EI Leaders and individuals who demonstrate a genuine interest in the shared success of the team.
